Jay Parish - Fingers Crossed Lyrics

I couldn't wait to see the kind of love story that we would write
I know it'd be worth it, whatever the cost would be
But our struggle didn't feel the same when I realized
You never tried to take any of the burden off of me

There was no price too high, nothing I wouldn't try
At your side, I never felt overwhelmed
I had made up my mind, I was gonna fight for what's mine
But I never thought I was fighting with no help

I wish I could get back all the days I lost
Waiting for you with my fingers crossed
With my fingers crossed

I wish I could give back all the pain it caused
Waiting for you with my fingers crossed
With my fingers crossed

I couldn't wait to see what the future had in store for us
I didn't mind sacrificing to make our dreams come true
But that perfect life we planned for, didn't mean that much
When I saw that wishing for it was enough for you

There was no price too high, nothing I wouldn't try
At your side, I never felt overwhelmed
I had made up my mind, I was gonna fight for what's mine
But I never thought I was fighting with no help

I wish I could get back all the days I lost
Waiting for you with my fingers crossed
With my fingers crossed

I wish I could give back all the pain it caused
Waiting for you with my fingers crossed
With my fingers crossed

I can't keep waiting, I can't keep waiting
For you to be somebody better, somebody better
I can't keep waiting, I can't keep waiting
For you to be somebody better, somebody better

I wish I could get back all the days I lost
Waiting for you with my fingers crossed
With my fingers crossed

I wish I could give back all the pain it caused
Waiting for you with my fingers crossed
With my fingers crossed

I can't keep waiting, I can't keep waiting
For you to be somebody better, somebody better
I can't keep waiting, I can't keep waiting
For you to be somebody better, somebody better
